4.0 out of 5 stars World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars, October 19, 2003

By	J. Kimbley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Gameplay is very good. You have a choice of time trial, single race or career. However some cars and tracks are locked out at the beginning. This is a big pet peave of mine. I paid for the game (using the Motorsportgaming funds ofcourse) and I want access to all that I paid for. Some people might have time to run a full career and unlock the treats but I like to jump in, experiment for a bit and get out.

There are three levels of difficulty easy, medium and OUTLAW. On the first attempt Outlaw is next to impossible. These cars are monsters. They will pull wheelies down the front straight and your back end will be in front of you before you know it, if you are not careful. Take my advice on this, start at easy and work your way up. The physics seem to be very well done, the cars are quite slippery and coupled with the force feedback it makes it very easy to get a feel for what the car is doing. Ai seems to be pretty good on intitial contact, they provide a little bit of bumping in the corners but generally seem to drive fairly intelligently.

Graphics are very good. I am running at a resolution of 1600x1200 full detail and get extremely fluid framerates. There does seem to be a small glitch though, every once in a while the graphics will skip, I have tried to remedy this by turning of the partical detail and am having favorable results. Will probably upgrade my video driver and see what happens.

The cars are well modelled and the track looks great. My only complaint would be that it looks slightly cartoony. Small gripe though it is still just a game. The sound quality is very good as well. The engines rumble appropriately, there seems to be a good spacial presence. No complaints here.

5.0 out of 5 stars A much better game than you'd think it is..., July 12, 2003

By	Markus Egger "www.MarkusEgger.com/blog" (Spring, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very entertaining racing game. I am not really into dirt-track racing, and have never seen an event live, so I can not say for sure how much it captures its spirit, but it certainly seems to be immersive. I had much more fun playing this game than I had playing Nascar Racing 2003 (although I also like that game).

Note however, that this is not an easy game. These sprintcars are extremely twitchy and hard to control. It will take you a little while before you can get around the track in the harderst setting...

Hat's off to Ratbag's game. Great job!

5.0 out of 5 stars World of Outlaws, January 1, 2004

By A Customer

Fantastic game. Start out on the easy mode though cause its a tough one. After you gain enough skill to win most races other options will open for you. Once you reach the higher skill level it becomes harder to win, so be prepared to practice a lot. This is as close as you are going to get to the real thing.
